About Book of Atem

The Book of Atem slot, released under the Microgaming umbrella, was developed by All41 Studios. It gives a new twist to a classic slot genre. It’s a progressive jackpot game with five reels and 10 paylines, and is jam-packed with attractions such as free spins and a special expanding symbol. 

It has an ancient Egyptian theme with a beautiful palace in the background setting. Book of Atem is a simple yet entertaining game with a gentle, movie-quality soundtrack. It can be enjoyed by beginners, casual players and seasoned pros.

How To Play Book of Atem

The Book of Atem slot has five reels, three rows and 10 fixed paylines. Matching symbols from left to right, starting from the first reel, across any of the 10 paylines creates a win. There is a Free Spins feature, and the Autoplay function allows you to choose between 10 and 100 autospins. You can also enable the Quick Spin mode for faster spins.

Book of Atem’s Return to Player (RTP) rate is 93.5%, which is average for a progressive jackpot slot. It comes with a hit frequency of 29.75%, which means that nearly a third of all spins will result in a win. 

On entering the Book of Atem game, you’ll notice four progressive jackpot tickers to the left of or above the reels, depending on the device you are playing on. They display the current value of all four progressive jackpots. 

To start the game, choose your bet on each spin and click on the bet icon. The minimum bet is 0.10, and that’s all! Click on the huge spin button in the middle of the screen, and the game will take care of the rest.

A stake range of 0.10 to 25.00 gives a win of 1x to 5,000x of your stake in a standard game with the WowPot Jackpot pot set at a minimum of 2 million, and the sky’s the limit with progressive jackpots.

If you get the magical pharaoh symbol on three to five scatters in a single spin, you win a payout equal to 15x to 1,000x your stake. The symbol payout values are dynamic and change with your bet size, giving a 5,000x maximum payout in free spins. The four progressive jackpot wins are exponential. The minimum payout of each progressive jackpot is:

• Mini Jackpot starting at 10x
• Minor Jackpot starting at 100x
• Major Jackpot starting at 50,000x
• WowPot Jackpot starts at 2 million

Book of Atem Features 

The symbols of the Book of Atem slot include stylized A, K, Q, J and 10 royals. You’ll also see flowers, snakes, falcons and pharaohs. The pharaoh symbol is the most rewarding, paying 15x, 200x or 1,000x of your total stake with three, four or five combinations, respectively. There is a wild/scatter symbol that substitutes for all symbols and can trigger either free spins or the slot’s jackpot wheel. 

The main bonus feature of Book of Atem is ‘Free Spins’, and it can set off the scatters. At the beginning of each free spins bonus round, you select a symbol at random, and after the free spin, a standard payout occurs, giving you a chance to win up to 5,000x your stake. If it lands on three or more scatters on the same spin, it triggers 10 free spins. Any special symbols on the reels that expand and fill the whole of the reel give a new payout calculation. 

Book of Atem’s progressive jackpots are popular due to the wild/scatters that may land on a reel and trigger the jackpot wheel. Here, players are guaranteed one of four jackpots.

In the Free Spins bonus, you get free spins with special expanding symbols. If three, four or five wild/scatter symbols land anywhere on the reels, 10 free spins are awarded. 

If you get the pharaoh as the special expanding symbol, it will give you the best chance to win the maximum 5,000x stake payout from each free spin. 

The most notable feature of Book of Atem is the progressive jackpot feature. This lets you win one of four progressive jackpots. The WowPot Jackpot begins at 2 million!

You need to collect wild/scatters during any spin to randomly trigger a Jackpot Wheel spin. The current jackpot amounts are on display, and players can see the jackpot ‘tickers’ progressively escalating.
